My First Bass Project... Help!

Hey everyone, well im about to begin on my first ever bass project, and to tell the truth, i dont know a thing im doing. Il post all my specs and it would be greatly appreciated if you can tell me if this is a good idea or not? Thanks

All of that on a Walnut B.C. Rich Warlock Style Body from Warmoth. For my neck, im not sure of what type of wood to use, but i know im going to go with the Ebony Fretboard with 24 Frets. This bass is of course going to be a 4 String and im hoping this bass will be perfect for slapping, which is what i do most of the time i play. I need expert advice if this is all worth the $2,000+ il be paying for this and if i should change anything? Also what would be a good type of wood for the neck? Thanks For Everything!
